The New "Wall" feature

Postby Karl G. » Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:46 pm

Okay so this bears some explanation...

To use the house-style walls, you have to create double-thick walls and convert them.

First, draw some ground:

Then, create the goofy double-thick wall thing:

Finally, convert the wall to the correct type by holding "w" and moving the mouse over the wall:

Viola!

Im having all kinds of problems with this. walls that wont convert. placing objects next to the wall will make the wall transparent from one side. Cant get floor tiles to stay the way they should be.

Yeah it might be a bit messed up. The alternative isn't so great either though (requires a lot more mesh types). I tried building some stuff and it's not as cool as I thought it was. I'm considering switching to the way EJ does it.

I'm working on redoing the walls today. After that, I'll be starting in on the main game! Unfortunately, school is starting to progress will slow down a bit.
